Sometimes ‘Friday Mike D’ leaves little notes of urgent things that need completion for ‘Monday Mike D’ and frankly, it’s really annoying.
I’ll come in first thing Monday morning, all chipper and full of whistle. I’ll gingerly put the U.S.S.Lunch Box on my desk and sit down at my computer. And there it is: a collection of post-its and scrap paper notes plastered across my keyboard.
This morning I had these:
“ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR!”
“CALL JEFF!”
and
“DAVE NEEDS REPORT!”
The notes are usually in Caps and frequented by exclamation points.
You see, come 4 or 4:30pm on Friday, Friday Mike D sometimes doesn’t like to do those last little things to finish off the week. So instead, Friday Mike D puts notes on the keyboard and mouse so that Monday Mike D is totally boned.
What a jerk.
Friday Sander is kind of like that. Only instead of writing things down, I keep remembering them all throughout Monday, which keeps my day in a perpetual state of being SOOO close but oh wait uh..uh…aawwwwww
Ha! Yes! Jerry Seinfeld has a sketch about this, which applies to me too. It goes something along the lines of:
Morning Me is always getting screwed over by Night Me, because Night Me is always staying up late watching TV, partying, etc, and he never worries about having to get up early for work because, eh, that’s Morning Me’s problem.
